Charles Passy is here to look at what Whitey dinner at a prime-time Square location costs yet ... a DTV or sell the topic of diesel MKC should ... arrive in time for now well it's it's that time scorer Applebee's canal and don't laugh at me and they've got a little bash going on and do you think ... it's up to three hundred and seventy five dollars for ... like more then we'll have dry yet now what you're getting for the prize is look it's not your standard Applebee's you is that if all you can eat buffet Ron's of more than three hours thinking have dinner early dinner in a late dinner in between dinner ... on concludes on an open bar that they described as premium ... on aam Sorenson it's more of the top shelf arriving ... on includes a DJ and dancing and partying ... and I'm maybe that's the ball ... on when it's over ... around eleven thirty they start to look out onto the street ... and theoretically you should have good access ... to see the ball drop but it's not quite guarantee a state theoretically we know that people get their sea peril in riotous and the entire year right right right what what they can't promise you it you're you're gonna be a good spot when when you leave the restaurant ... with the kit one hundred percent guarantee you you'll be able to stay in that spot ... that's up to the New York police Department so it's possible after reading the the big party you spend three and seventy five dollars for ... you could theoretically go to the back of a wine which could be the New York City sixteenth St if you wanted to see the ball drop so it's not guaranteed ... um ... however they have seen in years past ... David police telling you just leave the restaurant studio ... and you have a good it's just not guarantee that ... anyone has ever gone out for New Year's Eve ...

I think you know the best way to enjoy Applebee's is probably on a quiet Wednesday night Thursday night away from on that ... on it and paying twenty to thirty dollars on you know for me I don't think it's worth it aam I also think for me the thing that is a little disconcerting is I think the bucket list experience of going to Times Square on New Year's Eve I've done it once in my lifetime ... but in the bucket list experience ... is being out there to some degree in the call and see the ball drop ... if they can get your ball drop on one hundred percent sure ... I would wanna spend that money but you know for some people ... it's it's a nice nine against Abloy Kiely to drink
